I came to Thailand on a 6 month tourist visa, I done one run to Cambodia stopped 1 night in Cambodia when returning the Thai immigration commented that I had only stay for 1 night but still let me into Thailand.

After the run to Cambodia I got a retirement visa,much easier.

0 bht = £20,000, £20,000 can earn you between £800-£1000 in uk

First visa + bank account at 40,000 bht = £1000 following years 12,500 bht= £312 after the second year you are already up £400-700 using an agent not your own money it's a no brainer ,this is worked out at 40bht to the pound .
